It was dark as Waverly wrapped her coat tighter around her, she wasn't sure how she ended up in the woods at night, but here she was. "Nicole?" she calls out as the bitter cold makes its way through her jacket, she stops and turns as she hears footsteps. "Nicole?" she calls again as she thinks she sees a faint light in the distance.
"No one will come," she hears a voice whisper in the darkness. "I'm all you have left."
Waverly turns as Jolene emerges from the darkness knife in hand. "NICOLE! WYONNA!" she screams as she comes closer the blade dripping with blood.
"You finally did it," Jolene congratulates her as she hands the knife to her.
Waverly feels a sharp pain as she looks down to see blood pouring from the open wound on her tummy. "Oh God, Nicole!" she screams into the darkness.
"She won't help you, know one will," Jolene taunts as she cups Waverly's head as she pulls her closer. "No one cares."
Waverly awoke drenched in sweat as she kicks off her blankets, she turns to see Nicole still sleeping peacefully beside her, and even in her slumber she has a look of worry. Waverly frowns as she looks down relieved to not be covered in blood. It was just a dream she tells herself as she slowly gets out of bed to head downstairs. She opens the cupboard to grab a glass before filling it with some water; she takes a long sip before setting it down and going to the living room. She knows everyone is worried about her, but she can't even begin to try and put everything Jolene put her through into words or had she almost did take her own life, how for one small moment she wanted to, she freezes when she hears footsteps outside, she watches with fearful eyes as the knob turns.
Wynonna finally opens the door, she doesn't notice her little sister on the couch as she walks into the kitchen, she grabs something from the fridge before heading back outside with peacemaker.
Waverly tries to calm her pounding heart, she's dead, she can't hurt you anymore, she tells herself as she hears footsteps behind her.
"Babe?" she hears Nicole whisper softly as she enters the kitchen.
"In here!" Waverly tells her as Nicole enters the living room; she sits beside her as she lays a blanket on top of them.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah fine, just couldn't sleep," Waverly lies as she runs her fingers through her still damp hair.
"You're sweating," Nicole tells her as she puts her hand to her forehead. "You're not running a fever."
"Really I'm fine, just got a little hot," Waverly tells her as she throws the blanket off. "I'm going to go shower," she calls over her shoulder as she heads upstairs.
"Okay," Nicole mumbles as she watches her go.
"Did she say anything last night?" Wynonna asks from her spot at the table.
"Not a word," Nicole replies sadly as she accepts a cup of coffee from Mama.
"We just have to be patient sweetheart," Mama tells them as they hear footsteps coming down the stairs, they all turn to see Waverly, still wet from her shower.
"Good morning dear," Mama says as she hands her a cup of coffee.
"Morning," she mumbles as she goes to sit next to Nicole.
"Hungry?" she asks as she goes back to her cooking.
"Not really," she mumbles as she pushes the coffee away.
"Waves," Wynonna starts to say but she is cut off.
"I'm going to go for a walk," Waverly announces as she walks out.
"Wait what?" Wynonna questions as she goes to follow, Nicole hot on her heels. "Waverly!" she shouts as her little sister walks out towards the field.
Waverly stops as Wynonna and Nicole catch up.
"Baby we're worried about you," the red head says as she places her hand on her shoulder.
"I'm fine," the former bartender replies with a forced smile as she turns to leave.
"What happened that night?" Wynonna asks as she grabs her arm.
"Let me go," Waverly whispers as she starts to shake.
"I'm sorry," Wynonna frowns.
"I need to be alone," she tells them as she looks at Nicole sadly before turning and walking off.
"If I ever see that bitch again, she's dead," Wynonna says angrily as she storms off.
Nicole tries not to cry as she watches her girlfriend disappear from view. "Are we really not going to go after her?" she asks as she walks back into the house.
"Of course I am," Wynonna scoffs as she rolls her eyes.
"Let me go get dressed," Nicole tells her as she goes to head upstairs.
"I'm going alone," Wynonna replies as she holsters her gun.
"What? No way," Nicole argues as she whirls around a fire in her eyes.
"She's my sister, she needs me," Wynonna taunts.
"And she's my girlfriend, despite what you may think, I love her just as much."
"Sorry red solo mission," the heir smirks as she walks off.
"WYNONNA!" Nicole screams she quickly runs upstairs to get dressed, before dashing out to her patrol car.
"Okay of I was Waverly where would I be?" Wynonna asks herself out loud as she heads in the direction Waverly took.
Nicole blasts the heat as she takes off in the direction of the greenhouse.
Waverly curses herself for forgetting her jacket as the bitter cold lashes out at her through her thin long sleeved t-shirt, she's about to head home when she hears footsteps, she stops and turns seeing nothing but darkness.
"WAVERLY!" Wynonna shouts as she stands in the middle of the field.
"Baby?" Nicole shouts as she runs into the greenhouse. "Damn it," she mumbles as she heads back to the car.
Waverly runs her hands up and down her arms in an effort to keep warm as she turns and heads back in the direction of the homestead. She shivers with fear as she feels that she is being watched. She begins to walk faster as she hears the footsteps again, she refuses to look back as she takes off in a sprint, ignoring the bitter cold as she runs as fast as she can, she cries out in pain as she trips over a fallen log, her eyes feel with terror as she sees who is following her, she screams as she is dragged away.
Nicole stops her car in the middle of the woods, as she cuts the engine, she grabs Waverly's jacket as she begins her search. She ignores the cold as she keeps walking making sure to pay attention to her surroundings. "Waverly?!" she shouts as she sees a log, she runs over when she sees the fresh blood and the drag marks. "WAVERLY?!"
